Saxifraga Alpino White

Common Name: Alpino White Saxifrage

Description:
Saxifraga 'Alpino White' is a delicate yet hardy low-growing perennial, renowned for its pure white, star-shaped flowers that bloom in abundance from early spring through summer. These charming blooms rise above a compact mound of evergreen, moss-like foliage, creating a striking contrast that enhances rock gardens, borders, and pots. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers well-drained soil and part shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler conditions. This resilient and low-maintenance plant is ideal for alpine-style gardens and works well as ground cover. Regular deadheading will encourage prolonged flowering, keeping gardens bright and fresh for an extended season.
